Critique by ~Anaisdrawings Jun 9, 2012, 2:51:58 PM

Hello, I decide to write a critique, because, this is one of my favourites atworks. your drawing is very moving, this is for me a definition of the beauty even if this cat is wounded, he was always beautiful, the beauty is inside not the external physical and I found this cat still beautifu, cute. we must love animals, even if it is wounded. Your drawing and the photography denounces the suffering you are doing to the animals, the wickness of people. I like the expression of the cat, it is expressive, almost human, we can see a bit of suffering but also it is very living, a fight against the wounds, the suffering. a wonderful message of life. your drawing seems real like a photo, his fur his very well drawn.
I hope that my critique is fair and my english not very bad, thank you for this amazing drawing.

This is marvelous~ This cat is very lucky to be alive~ He is indeed still beautiful,and this piece of artwork very well portrays his beauty. The background matches him very well,and shows him up nicely. I love this very much~ The texture of this piece adds character to this animal. the fur has great detail,and the background really expresses the feeling in this picture. I think the title of this picture is very moving,and suits the mood very well. There is a lot of depth in this piece,the color scheme adds to the impact very nicely. good job on this piece.I'm in love with it.

Indeed he is beautiful. Wonderful job.

~Eclypse654 Feb 22, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Anaisdrawings, I agree completely. For some reason, I'm nearly crying between the story and the picture, and not because it's sad. I'ts emotionally moving. I hate people that abuse animals. And I would like to point out the look in his eyes and the expression.
Amazing work.

~pastel-er Feb 13, 2013

This is one of the most beautiful and moving and beautiful works of art I have ever seen. I have taken in many cats similar to Odin, damaged by someone's cruelty. You have captured the terror, sadness, and hope this cat--and many like him--must have felt. On top of that, your technical skill is amazing. You have portrayed Odin's soul, along with his lovely face and features so beautifully. Please keep up the good work on both fronts--creating great art and helping raise awareness of cruelty to animals, and the need to end it. thank you so very much.
